First female Speaker of House of Reps, Patricia Etteh graduates from Buckingham University

 

Rt. Hon. Patricia Etteh, the first female to head the National House of Assembly as a Speaker, has graduated from the Buckingham University at age 61.

 

Patricia Etteh who was commonly referred to as an ''hair dresser'' held her graduation party yesterday.

 

Mrs. Etteh was in 2007, advised to step down as Speaker by her honourable colleagues amidst a scandal of over inflated price for the renovation of her official home and that of her deputy as well as the purchase of 12 official vehicles which amounted to N628M.  Another photo below.

Mrs. Etteh at that time stated that her removal was gender motivated.
